Descriptions:
David of DavidTech demonstrates how to connect Claude directly to a cryptocurrency exchange — in this case Bybit — to automate trading decisions and order execution through natural language. The video is aimed at beginners and walks through the complete setup: downloading Claude, creating a Bybit sub-account with a controlled fund ($578 in his live example), generating read/write API keys, and loading a ‘skill’ file that teaches Claude exactly how to interact with the exchange.
The skill concept is central to the tutorial: rather than relying on Claude to reason its way around a platform it has never seen, a skill is a plain-text instruction file that maps out each step a human would take — navigating pages, entering values, submitting forms — so Claude can execute them reliably and cheaply. David has built skills for multiple exchanges including Binance, Bybit, Wex, and Blofin over the past six months, with the same connection method working across all of them.
The workflow demonstrated has Claude listening for voice commands, opening trades with defined stop-loss and take-profit levels, and confirming execution without requiring the user to monitor a screen. Security considerations are covered: locking API keys to specific server IPs and using sub-accounts to ring-fence portfolio risk. David claims a second-place ranking on Bybit’s leaderboard using automated strategies, lending practical credibility to the approach. Anyone exploring Claude as an agent layer for financial automation — or simply curious about how skills extend Claude’s tool-use capabilities — will find this a concrete, reproducible starting point.
